Tunisian special energy storage battery efficacy

In Thala, Tunisia, the cost of purchasing electricity from the grid is measured in euros per kilowatt-hour (€/kWh). For households with a monthly consumption ranging from 300 to 500 kWh, the cost per unit of electricity is approximately 0.063 US$. This price reflects the tariff structure set by the local utility or energy provider.

The Organic waste treatment using biogas technology is in line with the Tunisian government's energy transition strategy, with 100 MW of biogas power planned to be installed by 2030 (GIZ. 2018) under the Paris Agreement commitment.

The Tunisian energy landscape is marked by a contested evolution between the stagnation of natural resources and the sustained increase in demand. During the last two decades, the production of hydrocarbons has fluctuated between 6 and 7 million tons/year (Bettaieb 2018), while primary energy demand has grown at a rate of 3% per year on average.

In an off-grid setting, the inclusion of storage devices becomes even more imperative, as they allow the accumulation of surplus renewable energy during peak generation periods. This stored energy is then used during low or no-generation periods, ensuring a reliable power supply, minimizing shortages, and improving system efficiency.
